This is a fantastic thriller fantasy action adventure! Please watch, much good. Experience incredibly developed characters - like Jar Jar Binks (my favourite). A cold hearted thriller.

Possibly the worst movie ever made. George Lucas seriously needed some sort of co-producer or development person willing to be honest about about all the problems with the script.

This movie lives up to its name in being The Phantom Menace of the Star Wars Saga, utterly irrelevant to the Original and Sequel Trilogies and even the rest of the Prequel Trilogy. There is no need to see this movie at all as it willThis movie lives up to its name in being The Phantom Menace of the Star Wars Saga, utterly irrelevant to the Original and Sequel Trilogies and even the rest of the Prequel Trilogy. There is no need to see this movie at all as it will absolutely wreck all 8 other mainline Star Wars movies if you do, and the Machete Order (A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Attack of The Clones, Revenge of The Sith, Return of The Jedi) proves its irrelevance. Attack of the Clones tells you everything you to need to know about this movie in 25 minutes of summary, completely avoiding this painful 2 and a half hour slog of a movie.… Expand

Easily the worst movie going experience of my life. I was there for the midnight showing opening night. Ugh.
